Berean Strong's Lexicon rahat: Trough, channel, gutter Original Word: רַהַט Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to run Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that matches the specific meaning of "rahat" as a trough or channel. However, Greek terms related to water and irrigation, such as "ποταμός" (potamos, meaning river) or "ὑδροφόρος" (hydrophoros, meaning water carrier), may conceptually align with the function of a "rahat." Usage: The Hebrew word "rahat" refers to a trough or channel, typically used for directing water. It is a term that appears in contexts related to irrigation or the provision of water, often in agricultural settings. The word conveys the idea of a constructed path for water to flow, ensuring that it reaches its intended destination. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, and the management of water was crucial for survival, especially in arid regions. Troughs or channels were essential for irrigation, allowing communities to cultivate crops and sustain livestock. The construction and maintenance of these water systems were vital for agricultural success and community well-being. Brown-Driver-Briggs I.
